The subsets may be non-overlapping or partially overlapping. Soft information corresponding to overlapping codeword bit positions is typically summed in the remote unit, while non-overlapping bit positions are typically rearranged to an appropriate position for decoding.

  • Such a determination also includes determining the number of control channel elements constituting a particular type of control channel element in embodiments where the composite control channel includes more than one elements type as discussed above.
  • the number of control channel elements may be determined, for example, based on the existence of control channel element number information included in the composite control channel.

In one implementation, different bit sequences are indicative of different numbers of control channel elements. In another implementation, the location of the sequence of bits within the frame is indicative of the number of the control channel elements. In this latter implementation, the same bit sequence may be used to indicate different numbers of control channel elements depending on where the bit sequence is located within the frame.
  • the number of control channel elements may also be determined based on data or messaging shared between a wireless communication device and a network infrastructure entity. This may occur in a message sent to all remote units via a broadcast channel sent occasionally or a broadcast message sent in each TTI. The number of control channel elements or subset of control channel elements that the remote unit should decode may also be sent via a message dedicated for that remote unit.
  • control channels may be one or two control channel elements, with the size of the control element indicating the type of control element.
  • Convolutional encoding may be used for the control elements.
  • the decoder may decode the first control element, check the CRC, and then stop decoding if the control element is designated for the user. If not, the decoding may commence from the point just prior to tail bit insertion on the first control element, through the end of the trellis comprised of both control elements. The CRC is again checked. In this way, control channel decoding may be achieved with less effort than if combined control elements were decoded from the beginning of the trellis. Note that the code rate for the single and two control elements must be the same in this embodiment.
